These roses were alive at one time, but have been preserved somehow...How? I have no idea!
I don't have a clue how they preserved them, but I do love them. They come in handy when I need something to pretty up a random space.
There's only one place nearby that sells the roses. Every time I visit the little town of McKinney Texas, I try to stop by a shop called My Favorite Room and buy one or two of the roses.
The excuse to stop by the shop gives me a chance to look around and take in all the inspiration there! Everything is painted in creamy shades or gray or white. I love it all!
My Favorite Room carries a large collection of antique and vintage cupboards and chandeliers, and also a lot of upscale furnishings.
This one lives in an old glass creamer passed down from Wild Bill's family...
Here's one sharing a gravy boat with a mini faux pumpkin. The little pumpkins are one of my obsessions too!I'll leave you with this last picture of one of the roses. This one sits in a bird's nest in the kitchen on top of the cup rack.
Thanks for dropping by!
Good photographs make a good post and you've got to admit they are top notch.
ReplyDeleteThey really ARE beautiful - hard to believe they are real...
ReplyDeleteThat shop looks like my kind of place, and I love those roses! What a sweet addition to a small space in a vignette.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses, the perfect addition to any room.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThose roses are fantastic. They preserve them with silica gel. It is quite a process-roses cannot have ANY moisture in them and they are covered with silica gel, put into a sealed, taped shut container for at least 2 weeks. Roses have to be 'perfect' to preserve properly. They last for years and years though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking shop! I would love to visit that just for the fun of walking through the place. xo Diana
Your visits to these stores - all I can say is WOW. I love to look, but at this stage of my life I need nothing but good wishes.
ReplyDeleteThe roses are beautiful. I never have good luck in trying to dry them..Thanks so much for showing us those beautiful roses.
Have a great rest of the week.
